Ive recently bought a basic BIS card to give me the main French channels back - (the free stuff on 9E is now way too unreliable here due to an extremely annoying tree branch that removes 5, 7, 9 & 10E when its got any leaves on it) 
The cheapest seller I could find by a long way was TV Corner in France. Not wanting to get hit with currency conversion charges on my bank account I pondered the best way to pay for the card. Then I remembered my "cash passport" pre pay debit card I used on my holiday in Montenegro over the summer. Checking it there was just enough left on it for the card and a viaccess cam
The payment went through no problem, and the stuff was posted yesterday afternoon. It arrived this lunchtime having gone Paris - Liege - Edinburgh Airport - Carlisle(!) - Galashiels.
I would recommend this method of payment - you pre charge the card, its not tied to your bank account in any way so if the card does get ripped off anywhere the most the crooks can do is empty the card - not your bank account.
Up and running once I got the bloody Vu+ to recognise there was actually another cam fitted - now just need to adjust the 13E dish as the signal is down a bit on the BIS DVB-S2 frequencies - its probably moved in the recent gales.
